In the context of the Indonesian justice system, these psychological factors can also play an important role. Individual trust in the Indonesian justice system can be influenced by personal experience, perceptions about the integrity and quality of judges, as well as belief in the effectiveness of the justice system in providing justice to society. If individuals have low trust in the justice system, they may be reluctant to involve themselves in the justice process or feel that the decisions taken are unfair. This research uses the type or research approach of Library Research. The Miles and Huberman data analysis model is the method used in this research. By understanding the psychological factors involved in the Indonesian justice system, we can increase the effectiveness and success of the justice system in enforcing the law and achieving justice. Research that has been conducted shows that psychological factors such as individual trust in the justice system, empathy and recognition in restorative justice, stress and trauma in military personnel, as well as cognitive biases and the tendency to avoid risk in administrative cases can influence decisions and performance in justice system. Therefore, it is important for parties involved in the Indonesian justice system, such as judges, bureaucrats, and military personnel, to consider these psychological factors in their decision-making processes.
